…emory leak Each occurence of "Emulators" keyword overwrites the previous parsed "Emulators" statement. It also causes a memory leak. The problem is solved here by concatenating together values from all occurences of "Emulators" statements.

Happy to fix this, but keep in mind that CUPS never uses the value and PPDs are long deprecated... |

Unnecessary because ppd_file_t structure is zeroed.

Sadly, CUPS runs on platforms where realloc(NULL, size) will crash hard. But I can refactor this.

This also eliminates a potential memory leak...

I opted to just remove the code that deals with the emulations array completely - nothing in CUPS uses this array and it was just more "dead code" cluttering up libcups.
